SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MuleSoft,
provider of the world's #1 integration and API platform, today
announced new universal API management capabilities that enable IT
teams to securely create, manage, and govern any API across any
environment and technology.
The universal API management capabilities — including Anypoint
Flex Gateway, API Manager, API Experience Hub, API Designer with
event-driven capabilities, and API Governance — are built directly
on Anypoint Platform™, MuleSoft's unified platform for integration,
API management, and automation. Together, these capabilities
transform MuleSoft's end-to-end platform into a more open,
flexible, and scalable solution, so businesses can accelerate
innovation and create seamless digital experiences faster.
The rise of hybrid, distributed ecosystems adds
complexity
With the proliferation of digital touchpoints and the need to
create seamless experiences for employees and customers, companies
are creating more APIs than ever before. In fact, organizations
today use over 800 applications on average, and 96% of them
currently use public or private APIs — up from 80% last year.
At the same time, hybrid, distributed ecosystems have become the
norm, which adds complexity to the IT landscape. According to
Deloitte, 97% of IT managers are planning to take a best-of-breed
approach by distributing workloads across two or more clouds to
boost resilience and support regulatory requirements. These
distributed ecosystems result in data silos, limited reuse,
inconsistent governance and security across services, and limited
visibility with many management consoles across cloud vendors.
Universal API management delivers agility, flexibility, and
scale
To navigate these hybrid and distributed ecosystems,
IT teams can use MuleSoft's new universal API management
capabilities on Anypoint Platform to build, deploy, secure,
operate, and discover all of their organization's APIs — from
anywhere and in a single place.
New universal API management capabilities on MuleSoft's Anypoint
Platform allow organizations to:
- Adapt to any architecture with a flexible, lightweight
gateway to manage and secure any service: Anypoint Flex Gateway
enables IT teams to deliver the level of performance required for
the most demanding applications, providing enterprise security and
manageability across any API, environment, or architecture.
- Deploy and monitor services across any cloud or
environment: Developers and IT managers can scale effectively
by operating and monitoring their APIs across any cloud or
environment from a single place.
- Accelerate time to market by discovering APIs built anywhere
in the enterprise or composing new APIs in any language:
Developers now have the flexibility to model APIs in any
specification in API Designer, for any purpose — microservices,
event-driven, and much more. Additionally, they can find, explore,
and consume APIs designed anywhere in a single place with API
Experience Hub.
- Build trust without sacrificing agility by defining central
governance rules and applying them to any API at scale: With
API Governance, companies can operationalize governance across all
of their enterprise APIs to help comply with industry regulations
and internal design standards, without adding friction to
development.
